Gertie in E.T. was her first film appearance in Altered States after she made her debut in film as a child in Altered States. The Extra-Terrestrial is the Extra-Terrestrial. After being impressed with a tale that she led a punk rock band, Spielberg found that she had the right imagination for her role. E.T. is an acronym that stands for Everything. It was the best-grossing film of the 1980s, making her one of the most popular child actors of the day. Barrymore received the Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actress. Barrymore became the youngest person to appear as a guest-host of Saturday Night Live in the eighth season.

In the same year, she debuted her common parents in Irreconcilable Differences, and she was nominated for her first Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. "Barrymore is the right actress for this role precisely because she approaches it with such calm," Roger Ebert wrote in a Chicago Sun-Times article.
